Coming back from visiting my mom, this one hit home. As a mother I now look back at my memories of her so differently - and wonder which stories my kids will tell about their childhood and our relationship. Thanks for capturing your feelings and sharing the backstory

the vocal reading is dramatic and exquisitely wrapped in friendship. Once in a while ... I see a presentation like this ... where the poem is sweet ... and the explain by its author even honeyer!

I can relate, Muse.

When I had a nervous breakdown at 22, my father dropped everything to care for me. Now I care for him in his frail state.

So proud of you, you've broken the mother-mother-mother toxic chain.

This is such a beautiful dedication to your mum. She’s a bold Aries…I can probably relate at least a little as I am, too. 😊 Your love is very apparent, especially in your afterword. I love how life teaches us, as time goes on, how to grow in love and appreciation for others…and in turn, for ourselves, too. Happy Birthday to your mum! She must indeed be so proud of you. Sending you both enormous love! 💖

This is a lovely tribute to your mother. I'm glad you two get to break countless generational curses and enjoy one another.
